Let us now continue with Chapters 12 and 13, from the Gospel of Luke, in the Holy Bible. Here again, Jesus lovingly helps, warns, and advises everyone He meets on His path, with His wisdom and teachings, for the sake of their salvation, and in the name of the Lord. “Then Jesus asked, ‘What is the Kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.’ Again, He asked, ‘What shall I compare the Kingdom of God to? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.’”“Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way to Jerusalem. Someone asked Him, ‘Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?’ He said to them, ‘Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the Owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ ‘But He will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with You, and You taught in our streets.’ ‘But He will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’ ‘There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the Kingdom of God. Indeed, there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.’” “‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
